What would be the estimated cost of having someone remove the spoiler from my Mach and doing a good job?

 

I wonder if you couldn't swap it with a DSG V-6 (not a Pony). You'd get your clean decklid and that flat black spoiler would look nice on a 6.

 

Swapping deckids is a lot cheaper than patching up an existing one, at least from what I think.

I believe 99-04 decklids are SMC plastic, so they need to have filler and/or some kind of fibreglass, plus prep/paint and that will cost at least $200.

 

Yup. Finding a V6 that wants to swap would be your best bet. Heck of a lot cheaper, and will look better in the end.

 

Thanks, I have a buddy with a DSG V6, I'm gonna see if he wants to make the swap, He always admired the Mach spoiler, and I def. want the flat decklid.

 

Post pics when you're done, and thanks for joining!

 

I see people write about removing the spoiler. I don't know much about aerodynamics, but what does removing the spoiler do? Obviously it helps, but how?

 

I'll swap you!!! (see thread in for sale section ), I'll be in the states in the Autumn, if you can wait that long

 

How can you not like the spoiler of the Mach...it makes the car next to:

I've thought about getting rid of the spoiler on my GT. The deck swap with a V-6 seems like the best way to do it, but my car is Tropic Green, which was only used on about 10,000 Stangs. I figure around 75% probably have the spoiler, so there are only around 2-3000 wingless Tropic Green Mustangs in existance. I'm not holding my breath to find someone with a V-6 in the same color as mine who wants to trade. So, I figure that filling in the holes wouldn't be that much more expensive than repainting another deck lid that's another color. I also wouldn't mind trading my hood with the cartoon fake scoop for an '03-'04 V-6 or '99-'04 Cobra hood. I think there's zero chance of finding on of those in my color.

 

DanS if you do fill the holes becareful my friend tried to remove his spoiler and have the holes filled and repainted after like a year i guess from vibrations the paint got chipped around where the holes were filled and the patch actually came out. prob just a crappy job from the shop but just thought you should know. and he purchased a used trunk from latemodel mustang resto

 

I clicked on this thread expecting to see film endings I haven't seen yet.
